Una fotografía. A photography.


 Una fotografía no podrá devolverme todo lo que fue.

Ésta, tomada hace 21 años, durante la Nochebuena de 2003, parece un cuadro de mi vida.  Qué ternura, mis pequeños de entonces, bajo unas alas improvisadas. Aquel tiempo, eterno, ya no.

Hace años que no celebramos la Nochebuena allí, ni siquiera la celebramos todos juntos ya. Ni somos ni estamos los mismos. Al águila de cristal también se le cayeron las alas, tan pesadas eran.

 

Sobre ese sillón mi padre se hizo silencio. Mi madre y yo tuvimos que arrastrarlo sobre una manta hasta la habitación para tumbarlo en la cama. A las pocas horas murió, 37 años ya. Mi madre le ha sobrevivido otra vida.

 

Mi padre coleccionaba objetos. Mi madre, recuerdos. De los dos hay en la foto. No quiero pensar en lo que debe ser vaciar  la casa de los padres. Qué orfandad.

Cada uno es parte del tejido de lo que fue y de los naufragios que el mar va trayendo.

 

Cómo no leer la luz de aquellas velas.

LA INTEMPERIE, first poetry reading. July 19th, 2023.

 



Our distance is just a thread of light.

"This is one of the verses of this collection of poems called LA INTEMPERIE, which was born a little more than a month ago by the hand of Editorial Huerga y Fierro.

Under this outdoors -which is nothing more than life itself- we recognize ourselves as interwoven beings. We are not separated by age, origin, health or illness. Each glance is the reflection of the other.

Some of the poems that nestle in this collection of poems are dedicated to this wonderful woman who is my mother and there are also You, so I wanted the first reading to be here in this place where dignity has become flesh."



These were the words of the presentation at the residence where my mother currently lives. 

She is 99 and a half years old right now.



This is the video of a poem I wrote for her and that I was lucky enough to recite :



De qué estás hecha.

Poetry of silence



Writing is like imagining silence.

Then comes the other.
The other one.

And the perception that the other, with his gaze, will make that silence unique.

I am in that listening.


The photos were taken by my friend Andrea Melanctha.
Meanwhile, I knotted the lavender.
